redmania Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Hello, Long time lurker first time poster. I'm after some advice if possible? I'm in the market for some easy to hit and forgiving woods, including driver. I'm relatively new to Japanese equipment other than irons, I play epon 706. My handicap is 22, my swing speed with a 7 iron is 75mph. What would you recommend? I'm a reasonable iron player and short game player. But struggle massively with the 2nd shot. I just can't get a wood or hybrid in the air. I'm having lesson's and my ball striking is improving but from putter to irons. Currently playing g400 max, 5w and 3h regular Alta shaft. Been looking at ryoma etc. Any suggestions appreciated. Edited August 18, 2020 by redmania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuistot Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I’ve had good results with PRGR. You might consider http://blog.tourspecgolf.com/new-prgr-egg-5500-driver-and-egg-5500-driver-impact/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickyfowler Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 XXIO is probably well suited to your needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmania Posted August 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Thanks. Should probably mention that I can hit them off tees. Just not off the deck that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Stick with the lessons. Different brands in the forgiving stakes won't make Much difference. But if you need to....Look at the Ryoma F3 F5 for FW... Very easy to hit and auto launch if you strike the ball well enough.

AKnow Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 You would like XXIO..........Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyk3 Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) I think the Ping G400 Max is one of the most forgiving and longest drivers out there. IMHO, I would not touch that club. If you're having trouble with your 2nd shot, look at some forgiving / player friendly JDM irons. There are plenty out there that will definitely help you - same with player friendly hybrids & FWs. Also, as another members said, keep with the lesson and practice! Edited August 24, 2020 by Tommyk3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
